What simple, silly ideas do you have that would make Earth way better?

#1

Got your down vote finger ready? Ban automatic weapons except for the military. Not even cops, they can use tasers and rubber bullets. Yeah, I know those garage gunsmiths will rig something up, but its a start. automatic weapons make a person feel powerful and THAT is why its dangerous.

Corporations pay their taxes. Workers paid a living wage. Corporate responsibility to the environment rather than corporate greed.

Instead of war, world leaders should have drunken fist fights in the middle of the UN.... And should be televised to the world.....

Make voting compulsory but have a “None of the above” category so those elected are aware of the percentage of the population they have failed to reach and how much work they have to do.

Wow. Uh. A lot. I think the first one would to not let religion govern countries. Less suppression of minorities, effective law enforcement, more strict laws on weapons, less military funding etc etc. And less news stations, please.

Let people tell their stories. You may not agree with their conclusions, you may argue the facts, but let them talk. And when you talk, don't demand everyone believe 100% what you do, or see the same events 100% the same as you do. Intellectual breathing space and emotional room are vital for good mental health. Give it, ask for it, respect it.

Making it so that healthier food is more affordable and eating less meat as a species would make it so that the world can have better farming practices that actually benefit the earth and environment. Especially here in America, there is so much wrong with how we eat and how the food is produced. Healthier eating practices would lead to better farming practices, which leads to a healthier earth. With the amount of beef we eat in America, farmers that actually treat the animals and ecosystems well cannot produce fast enough to meet the demand on their own. If we change the way we eat, we could have a much healthier human race and a much healthier planet. If you made it this far into my rambling post, I appreciate your patience. Have a good day :)

Universal Basic Income and Medicare for All. Sorry, but all of the talk about living wages and good jobs just isn't going to work in the near future. Automation, AI and robotics will start replacing large swathes of workers in a diverse range of industries. The last McDonald's I went to no longer had cashiers, only kiosks to place an order. ChatGTP that everyone has heard so much about is only the beginning, not the peak. It would be much better to have UBI than to have 45% unemployment in a country that is floating in weapons.

This is my first post on BP but I'm ready to get downvoted into oblivion: Less hate. Not just the big three (Homophobia, racism, transphobia), but all hate. Stop hating religious people and then calling them homophobic racists who exist solely to destroy us gay people. The hate of today's world is fueled by the media posting "CrAzY ChRiStIaN lAdY throwing a tantrum because she got the wrong order " and refusing to elaborate topics such as "Sweet old Christian grandma bakes cookies for homeless shelter every Sunday". Don't give into the masses of the general public - There are bad Christians, and bad gay people. Don't generalise, be open-minded.

I have a few about how to change governments:
Legistlative: Instead of Congress/Parliment, we have 100 seats on a Council, which each have their own criteria based on census data for the population and the percentage of certain groups in that country (i.e., 50/50 male/female, an amount of LGBTQ+/POC seats equivalent to the percentage of those individuals in the country, a wide spectrum of ages)
Executive: No more parties, and CERTIANLY not an Electoral College or anything. Electoral College delegates aren't legally required to vote the way their state did, and I think its f****d up that you can win the popular vote and lose because of the Electoral College.
Judicial: Judges are not allowed to have political parties. They must be isolated from any world events not relevant to the cases at hand to ensure impartial judgement. They also have to have served before, have a law degree, and not be allowed to physically see the defenant/plaintiff to prevent bias. The epitome of justice is blind.
General: Amendments are always proposed by the people, no matter what. State laws are removed from the books IMMEDIATELY if a federal case deems them illegal. All prisons are government run, and must be checked regularly to insure that they are focused on rehabilitation, not punishment, and are HUMANE, SAFE, facilities for both the guard and inmates.
I've said it before and I've said it again, I should be in charge of planning the government of a country, because I am discriminated against in a variety of ways and want to prevent others from facing the same.

America: Eliminate the electoral college! Let's just go with the person receiving the largest number of votes wins any election. Gerrymandering eliminated, every vote counts. No more hijacking the government by politicians with a different agenda that the electorate.

Be accepting, don’t assume why people did something, don’t gossip or bully, don’t litter.
